Roth IRA Conversion
New rules will provide new opportunities for those who are interested in converting a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a Roth IRA.
The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act (TIPRA) of 2005 allows all taxpayers, regardless of income, to make these conversions.
Roth IRAs can play an important role in retirement planning as they allow for tax-free growth and withdrawals and are not subject to required minimum distributions during the account owner's lifetime. Clearly it is important to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the new conversion rules as part of your retirement strategy.
A summary of the new rules
- You can convert your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA regardless of your income (although contributions will remain subject to income limits).
- Any assets converted from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA are treated as taxable income for the year of the conversion.
- If you convert your IRA to a Roth IRA in 2010, you have the option to pay the federal income tax due in two equal installments during 2011 and 2012. It's a one-time opportunity that won't be available for conversions after 2010.
- You can convert just part of the assets in your traditional IRA.
- If you participate in a qualified retirement plan such as a 401(k), you have the option of a direct rollover to a Roth IRA.
What issues need to be considered?
It's a good idea to discuss these factors with your financial advisor before converting your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA.
- Paying income taxes: Can you pay for the conversion? Funds from outside a retirement plan should be earmarked for the additional tax liability. Using the assets you are converting to pay the tax could trigger early withdrawal penalties. Doing so will also reduce the assets eligible for tax-free growth and distributions available through the Roth IRA.
- Future tax rates: Tax rates today are historically low. If you believe that taxes will rise in the future, incurring the tax liability now may make the most sense.
- Consider all taxes: Remember to factor in both federal and state taxes.
- Adjusted Gross Income (AGI): Converting an IRA to a Roth IRA will cause an increase in your AGI and may place you into a higher tax bracket. A partial conversion provides flexibility in determining your AGI.
- Additional tax considerations: An increase in AGI may cause Social Security benefits to be taxed, results in phase-outs for deductions or personal exemptions, and disallows certain tax credits, among other consequences. Keep in mind that if part of your total IRA balance consists of nondeductible contributions, a portion of those conversions may be non taxable.
- Investments: Be sure to consider how you invest the assets in your Roth IRA knowing that they'll grow tax-free and how that will affect your overall asset allocation strategy.
If you're thinking about a Roth IRA conversion, learn what you need to do in 2009 to get ready.
You should also consider getting a full breakdown of the taxes and penalties associated with a Roth IRA conversion.
But there are other special considerations for doing a Roth IRA conversion.

Good Bye
Hi Carolina,
Thank you for all you have done here in Bangladesh.
Keep posting.. You write so well.
The End
How do I sum-up my year in Bangladesh? It was intense and it was all the extremes. It was fun, exciting, wonderful but also sad, depressing, and frustrating. So was it worth it? Would I do it again? Yes, it was worth is and I would do it again.
Now that I am home... the fun begins when I do something awkwardly inappropriate in Canada and I don't realize it! I can't wait!
Am I changed? Yes!
Am I a little more crazy? Yes!
I guess this will be my last entry for Bangladesh!
What a ride!
Signing off...
Carolyn Kolm
Thank You
Hello Carolina,
My sincere thanks, for visiting Bangladesh and helping the people. Your blog is very enjoyable.
Although I stumbled upon this blog two years after you written it, I still enjoyed it very much. I grew up in Bangladesh and now live in Canada and it was really exciting to see my country through the eyes of a different nationality.
You have described the plights and trials of people and you also painted the colourful picture of them having fun, specially the weddings. One thing is for sure, we are the most hospitable people in the world. To us, a guest is to be treated with highest respect and hospitality and I am sure it was very evident during your visit.
Thank you again, for visiting Bangladesh and sharing your experience with the rest of the world.

Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan has described poverty as the "biggest enemy of health in the developing world". Approximately 1.2 billion of the world's population live in extreme poverty, without clean water, proper nutrition, decent or adequate shelter – circumstances which can cause people to fall sick.
"Poor health is both a symptom and a cause of poverty," says Nina O'Farrell, Christian Aid's head of community health and HIV. "Ill health undermines development and prevents people from living full, productive and dignified lives."
Poverty cannot be eliminated without diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV being brought under control. The challenge is huge – an estimated 7,500 people die each day as a result of Aids-related illnesses, and the global epidemic is most keenly felt in the poorest countries in the world. Malaria is also endemic. Every 30 seconds a child dies from this easily preventable disease, which accounts for one in five childhood deaths globally. The economic impact of malaria alone is estimated to run to $12bn for Africa.
"Ill health pushes poor people even further to the margins of society," says O'Farrell. "Without good health and education, people cannot take advantage of work opportunities or increase their productivity."
For women in developing countries, the situation is critical. More than half a million die each year as a result of complications in childbirth, with 10 million suffering injury, infection or disease as a result of pregnancy and childbirth.
Gender inequality also means that women are more vulnerable to illness and have problems accessing healthcare. As women provide the backbone of care and support for sick community members, Christian Aid believes that men should be supported to take a more active role in protecting their own health and that of their families.
Christian Aid's health division works with nearly 150 partner organisations in 40 countries to address issues at a community level. It aims to strengthen the capacity of community-based organisations, enabling them to provide quality health services and care to combat poor nutrition, maternal and child mortality, HIV, malaria, TB and other preventable diseases. Christian Aid also encourages countries to design "pro-poor" health policies.
"It is important that government provision of healthcare is adequate and links up with the needs of communities," says O'Farrell. "Building on the strength and initiatives of local people, churches and grassroots organisations, which provide most of the healthcare, particularly in weak or failing states, can complement formal health structures or even provide a substitute for when these are absent."
One way Christian Aid gets across its key health messages is to work with faith and community leaders of all religions – people who are generally well-respected and listened to.
"They are able to challenge commonly accepted practices which put certain groups at risk of contracting HIV and other illnesses," says O'Farrell. "They also have a platform to provide accurate information on prevention, counselling, testing and treatment."
An organisation which has done exceptional work in this regard is Koinonia (meaning "fellowship") – a Christian Aid-funded network in Brazil. Koinonia takes on issues that faith groups often fail to reach agreement on, such as HIV, interreligious dialogue and racism. The network provides support for people living with HIV and help and fellowship for members.
"I feel welcome here," says Ideraldo Beltrame, an Anglican lay preacher. "People know I'm HIV positive, but they also know that they can receive communion from my hands."
So far, Koinonia has trained more than 200 religious leaders from various Christian, Candomble and Umbanda traditions, conveying vital HIV and healthcare messages to about 20,000 people.
"Leading is not about sitting down and talking at people," says Mae Denise D'Yausa, an Umbanda leader trained by Koinonia. "It is about standing with them."

'Drinking Buddies': Here's a toast to original rom-coms
A review of the surprisingly thoughtful, low-key romantic comedy "Drinking Buddies."
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review
'Drinking Buddies,' with Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson, Anna Kendrick, Ron Livingston. Written and directed by Joe Swanberg. 90 minutes. Rated R for language throughout. SIFF Cinema at the Uptown.
Joe Swanberg's low-key rom-com "Drinking Buddies" sneaks up on you; you think it's going in one direction, and suddenly it goes somewhere much more interesting. At its heart are two couples, seemingly mismatched. Kate (Olivia Wilde), the sassy, confident PR manager of a Chicago craft brewery, is involved with Chris (Ron Livingston), a quiet fellow who seems on a different wavelength. Luke (Jake Johnson), Kate's friend and co-worker at the brewery, buzzes with a freewheeling energy similar to Kate's; his girlfriend Jill (Anna Kendrick) is a demure schoolteacher.
When the four of them head off to a lake cabin together, sparks fly in the wrong direction, and you wonder idly if Harry and Sally, er, Kate and Luke will soon become more than friends.
But Swanberg ("Hannah Takes the Stairs," "V/H/S") has something else in mind; telling a story about what happens when friendship goes rogue, about how someone can seem perfect only when viewed in soft focus, and about how love has a mysterious way of showing up on its own time.
The story and cast have a loose, unhurried quality, particularly Wilde, here playing a sort of fantasy woman (she drinks with the boys, plays football in a bikini, is absurdly slender considering the volume of craft beer she guzzles and somehow makes a surreptitious sniff of her armpit charming).
Sure, they're all playing types — Kate and Luke are relaxed, Chris and Jill are uptight — but each finds something unexpected within their character. By the movie's final scene — a lovely, wordless sequence that speaks loud and clear — we're invested in these people, and in their overlapping roads to friendship and love.

Cornelia "Nealy" Evans Hodges
Hi Robert, I'm researching Jackson Hodges b. abt 1857 that married Cornelia Evans in 1890 in Bullock County, Georgia. I saw your posting for Cornelia # 93961518 on findagrave. A lot of researchers on ancestry.com have Jackson H. Hodges b. 27 Dec 1848 d. 14 Apr 1921 who was the son of Lemuel & Vincey (Martin) Hodges as Cornelia's husband. I'm not sure that is correct because this Jackson Hodges married a Eugenia Granberry and they have children that overlap when Cornelia and her Jackson Hodges children were born. I have located the children of Cornelia and Jackson and have posted them on my ancestry.com Family Tree. Also the Jackson Hodges 1848-1921 is buried in Houston County, Alabama no where near Bulloch County, Georgia where they were living in the 1920 census. Let me know what you think. I'm still looking for answers.

Duplicate Bannister memorials
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It seems there are two burial places, both with markers for the same man. Both are in different counties.
The memorial I created has him buried by his first wife. The other has him by his second wife. To put this situation to rest.
I am deleting the memorial I created in the hopes that I am not deleting the wrong one. Usually, a man is buried by his first wife.
If you hear anything otherwise, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you for pointing out the duplicate (# 104084109, dated (Jan 24, 2013) to my memorial (# 53366555, dated Jun 07, 2010). Maybe this other party just didn't notice that it was already recorded. Thanks again!

Semimetallic chemical element, chemical symbol B, atomic number 5. Pure crystalline boron is a black, lustrous, very hard but brittle semiconductor that does not occur naturally. Boron compounds are found widely dispersed as various minerals, including borax and the gemstone tourmaline. The element is used to harden certain steels, among other metallurgical uses, and is also used in semiconductor devices. Its borate compounds, in which it has valence 3, are essential to plant growth and have many uses in soaps, mild antiseptics, and eye ointments. Industrially, they are used as herbicides, fire retardants in fabrics, and catalysts in numerous organic chemical reactions. They are also used in electroplating and glass and ceramic formulations. The exceptional hardness and inertness of certain boron compounds, including boron carbide, aluminum boride, and boron nitride (which has an electronic structure resembling that of diamond), make them useful as abrasives and reinforcing agents, particularly for high-temperature applications.

Javna recovering from global crisis as Gulf markets get better
Oct.13.2009, AMMAN
October 13, 2009 2:46 by Amjad Baker
Javna, the leading Arab firm in mobile media services and wireless software solutions, has started to recover from the repercussions of the global financial crisis that started to hit world economies late last year.
The Amman-based company said that it has started to overcome the effects of the slowdown that has negatively impacted its activity during the past few months, adding that the firm has picked up at a pace parallel to that of regional and international peers.
Javna, which is active in the Gulf region and North Africa, resorted to economic precautionary measures with a view to survive the sweeping crisis that hit the company's key markets.
Javna's CEO Mansour Mansour said that the company's board handled the economic problem with professionalism and transparency, adopting an approach based on redistributing the company's operations among its branches to ease the financial burden and reduce expenditure.
He added: "The fact that Javna has several branches operating in Arab and European markets, especially those among the least hit by the crisis, has helped us overcome this undesirable situation. Besides, the wide clientele base expanding across sectors was also a positive factor, not to mention the strategic partnerships Javna entered at the beginning of 2007 and 2008 with Asian firms and international organizations that partly helped address the crisis."
It is worth mentioning that the ICT sector has been the third industry most harmed by the global financial crisis after banking and real estate.
Mansour emphasized that stability is gradually returning to Gulf markets, where Javna is the most active, pinpointing the findings of a recent study conducted by Leaders Presents. According to the survey, 53.4% of business leaders and top executives in the Gulf area said that they increased their investments during 2009 despite the consequences of the global crisis.
The study also revealed that 34.6% of investors did not trim down their investments in the period in question, compared with 12% who restructured their investments.
The survey, which involved 600 business leaders and top executives in the region, forecast that the Gulf area would recover from the effects of the global financial crisis early 2011 at the furthest, as 11% of respondents said that recovery would be complete at the beginning of 2010 and 38% said full recovery will occur mid 2010, whereas 50% said it would take until early 2011 to see the region completely healthy again.
Established in 2001, Javna is a privately held company that has achieved continued growth and success since its inception five years ago. Javna is amongst the leading Jordanian companies specialized in software solutions and wireless applications. Javna offer messaging & wireless applications products, solutions and services to mobile operators, enterprises, and government agencies in the Middle East.
Relying on its highly-competent technical and managerial teams, Javna aspires to become a leading global provider of fully serviced, hosted, integrated, interactive network that provides and supports mobile business applications, global mobile interactive messaging, mobile entertainment, mobile advertising, mobile content delivery and mobile data collection for mobile operators, major corporations, major media and entertainment brands and related industries.

Why Your Phone Can't Really Replace Your Credit Card
- |
- 4:32 pm |
- Permalink
You may very well wave your cellphone over a retail console to buy just about anything within a couple of years, obviating the need to carry around much of what's in your wallet.
That might sound super cool, but aside from learning a new swipe, not much else will change from the way we use credit cards today.
"Visa and MasterCard are so universal at this point that the barriers to entry for any new payment system are almost insurmountable," said IDC Financial Insights practice director for payments and security Aaron MacPherson.
As a result of that and other factors mentioned below, the fees, interest charges and markups that plague credit card customers on both sides of the customer/merchant equation will undoubtedly persist on smartphones.
Credit card companies typically charge merchants around three percent of the purchase price when a customer pays by card. That drives up the price of all goods, regardless of how you, personally, pay, because merchants have to pass those extra costs to consumers somehow.
And unfortunately, the credit card industry appears to be an example of the rare market that cannot be disrupted by new technology — for now, anyway.
To the optimist, the anticipated switch from cards to phones looks like a golden opportunity for enterprising, agile startups to swoop in and undercut that three-percent rate. After all, how can delivering a bunch of ones and zeros — something that's essentially free in most other cases — end up costing three percent of the price of something tangible like groceries or a shirt?
In these dis-intermediated times, it seems laughable that moving a small amount of data around would be worth so much.
There are fundamental costs of doing business, to be sure. Just as we all pay a credit card "tax" even if we do leave home with just cash, cardholders also pay for their deadbeat cohorts. Those unpaid bills are one of the big reasons issuers say they need to keep the interest on unpaid balances as high as it is. And then there's the problem of "chargebacks," wherein money is refunded by a bank to a consumer following a fraudulent transaction, representing a massive expense for credit card companies and PayPal (Google Books link).
More Middlemen, Not Fewer
So, the same middlemen will take their cuts for all the same reasons when we switch from credit cards to credit phones – and, likely, there will be even more middlemen, who will add to the rake. The two main reasons for this are the big players' massive network-effect advantages, and that the internet cannot match the reliability, speed and security afforded by credit card company's private networks, according to MacPherson.
"People tend to underestimate the network effect: A payment system is exponentially more valuable the more people participate in it," said MacPherson, adding that competing with Visa and MasterCard is nearly impossible, "unless you can find a niche that the card companies are not serving, like PayPal did with eBay. Even PayPal, now, is usually just a conduit for a card or a checking account."
Bloomberg reported earlier this week that according to anonymous industry sources, three of the nation's largest cellular networks — AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile – "target[ted] Visa and Mastercard" using smartphones with a secure near-field communication (NFC) chip embedded in them at a cost of $10 to $15 for each phone, to facilitate secure payments at retail locations.
Targeting Visa and MasterCard? That can only increase competition, right?

Cards to Fire Whisenhunt?
This from PFT - I assumed Whiz was gone after this season but did not figure he would not make it to the end of the year
You know that thing we said earlier about the possibility that no head coaches will be fired during the season? That could be wrong. Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910 in Phoenix reports that the Cardinals are having internal discussions regarding defensive coordinator Ray Horton. Given that the teams defense has had little to do with the teams eight-game losing streak, the fair inference is that the Cards are considering firing coach Ken Whisenhunt and promoting Horton to interim head coach. If it happens that would keep Whisenhunt from matching Jim Hanifan as the longest-tenured coach in team history, with six full seasons. Stay tuned. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...on-ray-horton/ Ironic that one of Tomlin's former assistants might replace Whiz for the rest of the season |

ModernMix 1.0
Run your Windows 8 apps in resizable windows.
Still feeling the Windows 7 blues? Ever wish you could take your apps out of Win8's Modern UI and onto your desktop? ModernMix is a utility that enables Windows 8 Modern-centric apps to run inside a windowed frame, resulting in a more traditional experience like previous versions of Windows. Regardless of your feelings about Microsoft's current direction, ModernMix is an attractive utility made especially for the classically desktop dependent.
When running multiple Modern apps, the applications are not normally running or visible in desktop view. Instead, the charms bar acts as your standard task manager for Modern apps. ModernMix takes your Modern UI apps and docks them onto the desktop taskbar, further blurring the line between both the desktop and Start screen environments.
Another useful feature is ModernMix's ability to constrain app window sizes; many of the available apps from Microsoft's appstore are set at a 768-pixel-or-above height and weren't designed to be scaled down. Though you can set the static window dimension from the settings menu, some cases proved that the windowed experience wasn't always the most reliable or enjoyable experience. Many of Microsoft's apps in Windows 8 were meant to run in full-screen, so some apps and games ended up being underwhelming at times. Games like Hydro Thunder and Jezzball Galaxy ended up getting cut off at more unconventional resolutions. Others like the News app and BlazBlue felt more like they were running natively.
When paired with Start8, ModernMix and Windows 8 may just end up becoming that magic computing cocktail mix to push some Win7 users over the tipping point to Windows 8. You can purchase a beta version for $4.99 or take it for a test drive for 30 days by heading over to the download page.

The Fox Footy Channel was a channel exclusively dedicated to Australian rules football. It was owned by Foxtel, and operates out of their Melbourne based studios. From 2002 - 2006 it was available on Foxtel, Austar, Optus Television, TransTV[2] and Neighbourhood Cable up until transmission ceased on 1 October 2006. The channel has been revived for the 2012 AFL season after a new broadcast agreement was reached between Fox Sports and the AFL.
The channel was created in 2002 after News Limited won the television broadcast rights to the AFL for the 2002 to 2006 seasons. It granted to free to air rights to the Nine Network and Network Ten and granted the subscription rights to Foxtel. Fox Footy was originally offered by Foxtel for an additional subscription during the first two seasons of the rights agreement, however it was moved to the Basic package in February 2004, making it available to all Foxtel subscribers without additional charge for the balance of its life.[3]
Due to broadcasting rights, each state had a separate version of the channel to allow free-to-air right holders exclusive live coverage. For example, if Channel Nine or Channel Ten broadcast a match between the Adelaide Crows and Sydney Swans live in Adelaide, Fox Footy would have been prevented from showing the match live, whereas if Nine or Ten didn't broadcast it in Melbourne, Fox Footy would be allowed to show it live there. Fox Footy typically repeated all matches after they were played, although often with the commentary of the free-to-air network that presented it live originally. Fox Footy only broadcast the AFL and not any state football leagues such as SANFL, WAFL or VFL.
End of the channel[edit]
The future of the channel was placed in doubt after the awarding of the AFL rights from 2007 to the Seven Network and Network Ten. On 23 August 2006, Foxtel announced the Fox Footy Channel would cease broadcasting at the conclusion of the current AFL season and be replaced with Fox Sports 3. Foxtel CEO Kim Williams stated "It's not financially viable to continue operating a 24-hour-a-day (Australian rules) football channel when we can only get three live games a week and not on the terms we have sought." [4] The channel ended after a replay of the 2006 AFL Grand Final at 4.00am. Seven and Ten later, came to terms with Foxtel and four games per round will be shown on pay-TV, through the Fox Sports channels.
It was announced on 28 April 2011 that the channel will be revived for the 2012 AFL season. The channel will return exclusively on Foxtel and its broadcasting partners, under the proposed new name of Fox Sports AFL,[5] which was later changed back to its original name Fox Footy. The channel will relaunch on Friday 17 February 2012 with the first NAB Cup round-robin match between Hawthorn, Richmond and North Melbourne broadcast that night. Fox Footy will broadcast all NAB Cup games exclusively (except for the NAB Cup Grand Final which will also broadcast on Seven), all home and away matches and all finals matches (except for the Grand Final which will screen exclusively on Seven). All matches will be broadcast live to air in both Standard and High Definition with no commercial breaks during play. When two live matches are being played simultaneously, Fox Sports 1 will broadcast one of the matches. Football personalities and commentators who have newly signed or re-signed to be a part of the relaunched channel include Eddie McGuire (who will commentate 1 non-Collingwood match a week and host his own talk show), Gerard Healy, Paul Roos, Jason Dunstall, Dwayne Russell, Brad Johnson, Alastair Lynch, Tony Shaw, Liam Pickering, David King, Danny Frawley, Mark Ricciuto, Glen Jakovich, Anthony Hudson and Dermott Brereton. For more information on the revival see Fox Footy.

Claude Speed?

QUOTE (Philtheonearmedbandit @ May 12 2005, 00:27) |
Okay, I've played through all three of the PS2 GTAs. I know that the GTA3 main character's name is Claude. But all over the internet people have been calling him Claud Speed. Where did the last name come from? |
Who knows? Who cares? It sounds good. Let's leave it at that.
Maybe it's because he drives really fast in the games.
Posted 12 May 2005 - 06:01 AM
Anyway, the name Claude Speed comes from GTA2. It was the character you played as in that game, and many assumed that the two are the same person. Its a good asumption, after all, they do both have the same first name. I know there's more information about this topic that someone can post, but maybe if you search here on the forums you'll find what you seek.

Claude Speed's name I don't know where they got it from but it's
his name in GTA2...
They wear the same clothes.
They look the same.
They don't talk at most a groan.(But only when falling/shot/knocked over)
They have the same name.
The 3D models are based off of Scott Maslen the actor for Claude Speed in GTA2...
I guess he is named Claude Speed because he is fast as hell when
he runs and he could run forever...(One GTA2 or if you complete the
Paramedic Missions on GTA3)
Posted 14 May 2005 - 07:35 AM
Also, how can you tell that the characters dress the same, wasn't GTA2 top down?

Edit: I just watched the GTA2 intro movie, and the city is New York City- hence, Liberty City. It's obvious because the intro movie shows the WTC towers.
Posted 17 May 2005 - 10:09 PM
Umm...The Intro...The introduction is about the character you
play...Claude Speed...And he wheres the same clothes as Claude
in GTA3 and SA...
And yes GTA2 is in Liberty City/New York City...
You can tell it's New York by the skyline and the Police Car has
NYPD and blue stripes on the side...Thus being a New York City
Police Car...Thus making it Liberty City...
Liberty City=New York City

QUOTE (Cuse510 @ May 17 2005, 21:23) |
Even though his name is almost definitely Claude, I still kinda like to think that you make your own guy in GTA3. You can make him who you want him to be. I thought that was cool |
That's what I found most appealing about the GTA3 character. You didn't know anything about him, and he didn't speak. Thus, you could formulate your own story about him. It gave you room for player cusomtization, in terms of character.
But the GTA2 character, and Catalina's boyfriend from San An all point to this guy being Claude Speed. Personally, I like that they've finally tied him into another GTA game. Besides, most of us have played GTA3 so much that it's good to see there is now some finality to whom he really is.
More on-topic now, perhaps his name is a spoof of the good-luck phrase 'God Speed'?
Posted 18 May 2005 - 01:55 PM
Posted 18 May 2005 - 11:30 PM
Dude Liberty City has nothing to do with Chicago!!!
It is NEW YORK it is vaguely based on it but it is NEW YORK CITY...
They were even gonna have the police cars with Blue Stripes on
the side like in NEW YORK CITY...
And are you f*ckin' stupid!?! How the f*ck could you say there are
no World Trade Center Towers in New York City??? The f*ckin'
game was made when they were still up so in GTA's future they
are still there...

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Amaziah became king [when he was] 25 years old; he reigned 29 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan; [she was] from Jerusalem. | 1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem. |
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight but not completely. | 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly. |
3 As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king. | 3 After the kingdom was firmly in his control, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king. |
4 However, he did not put their children to death, because-as it is written in the Law, in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded-"Fathers must not die because of children, and children must not die because of fathers, but each one will die for his own sin." | 4 Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted in accordance with what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sins." |
5 Then Amaziah gathered Judah and assembled them according to patriarchal family, according to commanders of thousands, and according to commanders of hundreds. He numbered those 20 years old or more for all Judah and Benjamin. He found there to be 300,000 choice men who could serve in the army, bearing spear and shield. | 5 Amaziah called the people of Judah together and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. He then mustered those twenty years old or more and found that there were three hundred thousand men ready for military service, able to handle the spear and shield. |
6 Then for 7,500 pounds of silver he hired 100,000 brave warriors from Israel. | 6 He also hired a hundred thousand fighting men from Israel for a hundred talents of silver. |
7 However, a man of God came to him and said, "King, do not let Israel's army go with you, for the Lord is not with Israel-all the Ephraimites. | 7 But a man of God came to him and said, "O king, these troops from Israel must not march with you, for the LORD is not with Israel--not with any of the people of Ephraim. |
8 But if you go [with them], do it! Be strong for battle! [But] God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to make one stumble. | 8 Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow." |
9 Then Amaziah said to the man of God, "What should I do about the 7,500 pounds of silver I gave to Israel's division?" The man of God replied, "The Lord is able to give you much more than this." | 9 Amaziah asked the man of God, "But what about the hundred talents I paid for these Israelite troops?" The man of God replied, "The LORD can give you much more than that." |
10 So Amaziah released the division that came to him from Ephraim to go home. But they got very angry with Judah and returned home in a fierce rage. | 10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. They were furious with Judah and left for home in a great rage. |
11 Amaziah strengthened his position and led his people to the Valley of Salt. He struck down 10,000 Seirites, | 11 Amaziah then marshaled his strength and led his army to the Valley of Salt, where he killed ten thousand men of Seir. |
12 and the Judahites captured 10,000 alive. They took them to the top of a cliff where they threw them off, and all of them were dashed to pieces. | 12 The army of Judah also captured ten thousand men alive, took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces. |
13 As for the men of the division that Amaziah sent back so they would not go with him into battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, struck down 3,000 of their people, and took a great deal of plunder. | 13 Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had sent back and had not allowed to take part in the war raided Judean towns from Samaria to Beth Horon. They killed three thousand people and carried off great quantities of plunder. |
14 After Amaziah came from the attack on the Edomites, he brought the gods of the Seirites and set them up as his gods. He worshiped before them and burned incense to them. | 14 When Amaziah returned from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people of Seir. He set them up as his own gods, bowed down to them and burned sacrifices to them. |
15 So the Lord's anger was against Amaziah, and He sent a prophet to him, who said, "Why have you sought a people's gods that could not deliver their own people from your hand?" | 15 The anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, "Why do you consult this people's gods, which could not save their own people from your hand?" |
16 While he was still speaking to him, the king asked, "Have we made you the king's counselor? Stop, why should you lose your life?" So the prophet stopped, but he said, "I know that God intends to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my advice." | 16 While he was still speaking, the king said to him, "Have we appointed you an adviser to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?" So the prophet stopped but said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel." |
17 King Amaziah of Judah took counsel and sent [word] to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us meet face to face." | 17 After Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, he sent this challenge to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel: "Come, meet me face to face." |
18 King Jehoash of Israel sent [word] to King Amaziah of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent [a message] to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son as a wife.' Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle. | 18 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: "A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage.' Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle underfoot. |
19 You have said, 'Look, I have defeated Edom,' and you have become overconfident that you will get glory. Now stay at home. Why stir up such trouble so that you fall and Judah with you?" | 19 You say to yourself that you have defeated Edom, and now you are arrogant and proud. But stay at home! Why ask for trouble and cause your own downfall and that of Judah also?" |
20 But Amaziah would not listen, for this [turn of events] was from God in order to hand them over to [their enemies] because they went after the gods of Edom. | 20 Amaziah, however, would not listen, for God so worked that he might hand them over to [ Jehoash], because they sought the gods of Edom. |
21 So King Jehoash of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced off at Beth-shemesh in Judah. | 21 So Jehoash king of Israel attacked. He and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth Shemesh in Judah. |
22 Judah was routed before Israel, and each fled to his own tent. | 22 Judah was routed by Israel, and every man fled to his home. |
23 King Jehoash of Israel captured Judah's King Amaziah son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh. Then Jehoash took him to Jerusalem and broke down 200 yards of Jerusalem's wall from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. | 23 Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate--a section about six hundred feet long. |
24 He took all the gold, silver, all the utensils that were found with Obed-edom in God's temple, the treasures of the king's palace, and the hostages. Then he returned to Samaria. | 24 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the temple of God that had been in the care of Obed-Edom, together with the palace treasures and the hostages, and returned to Samaria. |
25 Judah's King Amaziah son of Joash lived 15 years after the death of Israel's King Jehoash son of Jehoahaz. | 25 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. |
26 The rest of the events of Amaziah's [reign], from beginning to end, are written about in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. | 26 As for the other events of Amaziah's reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? |
27 From the time Amaziah turned from following the Lord, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. However, [men] were sent after him to Lachish, and they put him to death there. | 27 From the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they conspired against him in Jerusalem and he fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there. |
28 They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah. | 28 He was brought back by horse and was buried with his fathers in the City of Judah. |
